Xie's face was buried in the shadows between the curtains of the bed, his eyes shining faintly. Huaiyu lowered her head and quietly withdrew herself from the room. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared with an understanding look on her face.

Ye Jingru's eyes widened, "Mother, this is?"

Lady Xie stuck out a finger to press against Ye JinRu's lips, stopping her from speaking any further. Instead, she smiled, "Ru'Er, you don't need to worry about this matter."

"Just stay by my side and learn from it."

Ye JinRu nodded blankly.

She had expected her mother to make a move, but she hadn't expected it to be so big and so quick.

In the afternoon, Huaiyu rushed over to report the letter.

"Ru Er," Lady Xie held Ye Jinru's hand and said with a face full of love, "Let's go. Mother will take you to see how we are going to deal with those restless people."

Silence reigned outside the main hall.

Everyone kneeled on the ground and lowered their heads, trembling. They tried their best to pretend that they did not exist, afraid that they would be affected by this monstrous rage.

Ye Chong sat on the porch and scanned the people below with his pair of eagle eyes. Finally, he landed firmly in front of Hong Yun, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Is that her?" Ye Shou's tone was harsh and he exuded a thick sense of hostility.

The amulet standing beside Ye Mo nodded his head. He had been with Ye Mo for dozens of years, and Ye Mo trusted him the most.

Hearing Ye Zheng's words, Hong Yun was frightened to the point of trembling. She raised her head and desperately begged for mercy: "Master, please enlighten me! This servant definitely did not do anything to harm Madam!"

Hong Yun had already been tortured long ago. She had been slapped several times on her face, causing blood to froth. The blood mixed with the soiled dirt on the ground clung to her face.

A tragic sight.

Ye Chong obviously showed disgust on his face. He turned his face away from Ye Chong and looked in the direction of the rune.

"Master, it's her. I found this on her body."

It was a paper packet that had already been opened. The creases on it had clearly been opened and closed many times. Ye Zheng's eyes turned a bit darker. Without another word, he stretched out his hand and opened the paper bag.

Inside the paper was half a bag of light yellow powder.

"Go call the doctor!" Ye Zheng's voice became loud with anger, he stretched out his hand to throw the paper bag to Yaojing, his face darkened as he looked at Hong Yun kneeling on the ground.

If he remembered correctly, Hong Yun was one of the maidservants served in Si Xiang Yuan.

The spice?

Thinking of this, Ye Zizai's face turned even uglier.

No, it was impossible. Ye Zizai quickly rejected this idea. He was very clear on Si Xiang's character. He was kind and respectful, so how could he do such a thing?!

Then why did this dog slave have to do it!?

Ye Zhenzheng clenched his fists tightly. He sent people to search Ye Jinsu's courtyard three times, both inside and outside. Could it be that this really had nothing to do with her?

Ye Shisui kept guessing and didn't even notice the doctor coming over. It was only when Yaojing reminded him on the side that he came back to his senses.

He was covered in cold sweat, as if he had survived a disaster.

Even he did not realize that the Xie Clan was so important to him. Anything that threatened the Xie Clan was something he could not tolerate.

Fu Jing handed the medicinal bag over to the doctor. "Please help look at this. What is this powder?"

The white-bearded doctor took it and examined it. After he pinched and sniffed it, his complexion became somewhat unsightly. He raised his head and looked at everyone around him. They all had heavy expressions on their faces.

Surprised, the doctor took out a silver needle and inserted it into the powder bag with a trembling hand.

The tip of the silver needle turned black as soon as it touched the needle.

The doctor's expression changed drastically, and the hand holding the medicine bag began to tremble. He kneeled on the ground and said, "Sir, this is poison, extremely poisonous!"

Extremely poisonous!

Ye Zheng jumped up from his chair and pointed at the medicine bag on the ground. He sounded nervous and angry. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I'm sure!" The doctor looked up and held out the silver needle.

On the silver white tip of the needle, the black dot was especially obvious.

For a moment, Ye Chong lost his balance. His legs gave way and he staggered a few steps. He grabbed the back of the chair to stabilize himself.

How could that be?

How could that be?

Ye Shisui suddenly turned his head and walked forward a few steps to lift up Hong Yun who was kneeling on the ground. He shouted in anger, "Speak! "Who told you to do this?!"

Ye Shisui's entire body was exuding a raging chill.

The people below trembled in fear.

Hong Yun had been shaken into a sieve, but did not utter a single word.

After not answering for a long time, Ye Zizheng's expression became more and more unsightly, the joints in his hands clutching at Hong Yun's clothes began to creak.

After throwing away his men, Ye Chong turned around and sat back in his chair. He was furious, his chest heaving up and down. A hand was pressed against his forehead, and his brows were furrowed in pain.

Ye Jingru, who was hiding in the dark, felt a pang in her heart as she lifted her leg to try and get out.

However, she was stopped by the Xie Clan.

"Don't go over there yet," Mrs Xie said in a low voice. "You can go out when the time is right."

For a quarter of an hour, no one dared to speak, even to the point of suffocation.

The rune broke the silence and softly spoke from the side, "Master, do you want to use torture?"

Ye Zheng lowered his head and loosened his clenched fists, giving Hong Yun a fierce look. As if he had made up his mind, Ye Mo smashed his fist on the chair's handle, "Use!"

"Let her spew out the masterminds!"

However, the moment he finished, Ye Chong tilted his head, not daring to look again.

Hidden in the shadows, Lady Xie sneered.

It was the same, indecisive. He didn't dare to face the reality that the mastermind might be Si Xiang, so why not just make it a small matter?

Madame Xie closed her eyes and pulled on her sleeves. Since this was the case, she couldn't afford to stay any longer.

Opening her eyes, Madam Xie walked in from the back and asked in a soft voice, "Old master, who was the one who harmed me?"

Ye Shisui's body stiffened. He turned around and saw Lady Xie, supported by Ye Jinru, standing behind him. Madam Xie, who had just gotten out of bed, still looked weak and pale.

Ye Zheng was worried about her body. He was extremely nervous. "Yu'er, why are you here? You haven't recovered yet."

Madam Xie's eyes were filled with autumn water as she looked at Ye Zizai, "No, I want to come. I want to see who exactly wants me dead so much."

He felt guilty but didn't say anything. He just sent someone to deliver a soft chair for her to sit down.

Fu Jing had already brought people over a bench and a long rod. When the child's arm thick long rod fell into Hong Yun's eyes, she was once again frightened.

Hong Yun was clearly frightened, she raised her head and kowtowed, begging for mercy with all her might: "Master, please be magnanimous and spare me! No one instructed this servant! This servant made them himself! "

"This servant doesn't like Madam, which is why I wanted to harm Madam!"

When she saw Hong Yun's face, she covered her mouth in shock.

"Master, I know this girl."
